It's made of ribbon and I think that the officers' may have been satin at one time but that's of no importance here.
And - although I agreed that it's an emblem, it's an emblem of something in their history - but it's more than just an emblem since it forms a part of the uniform

English regiment emblem on "black ribbon" leads 'willy-nilly to:
Royal Welch Fusiliers( formerly The 23rdRegiment of Foot)?

Lechyd da!
Well done inded, Aktung!
This is an inexpertly trimmed photo of my dad during WW2 - you can just see the edge of the Flash You're away! (PS: you were lucky to get there by looking for an English regiment - the RWF were a Welsh regiment!)

"Lechyd da!" - cheers! I don't mind 'Wiki' not knowing the difference between a Welshman and an Englishman but a Royal Welch Fusilier certainly would (note for others that this spelling is the archaic one for 'Welsh' that was retained for some reason). I still think you were lucky that they don't

phew this was a nice one Glynn, and well done Aktung
I was on a path to some circular black cloth 'emblem', so Google withheld this from me re Welshman there is one in the vicinity, he is quite convinced to be british but not english, just had a conversation. He was in the military before moving to Germany in 2020, should have asked HIM! lol

A D-Day veteran gets lightly scorched
I've posted this stunning remarkable foto numerous times incl. my album; suggesting all modders could now have a clear concept of what a burning Liberty Ship should actually look like. The USS Pampanito, also a WWII veteran, is also moored astern for a great day at Fisherman's Wharf. I visit them at every opportunity. I figured this would be an easy one. Over to Jimbuna!
